Enough suffering
Once you have had enough suffering you dedicate your life to peace. “Enough suffering” varies in type and amount for each person – the only path is your path out of your individual suffering. The path out of suffering contains many similarities yet ultimately you journey your own journey.
A time is reached in life when you decide to make no more pain for yourself; you surrender resistance to reality. You live to give, to help and to offer your gifts to the world.
You have to make a conscious choice to end your suffering and in doing so the way opens up before you.
Whatever you choose is a step you must take, trusting your inner compass along the way; no wrong decisions, only steps.
You recognise that you have suffered enough when you can accept the fact of this statement:
“I am creating my suffering”
I am making choices and taking actions that are causing problems in my life and I can change.
When you choose not to accept any more suffering – your life changes. You can begin to live to give instead of to get.
From recognition to intention – beginning with the statement:
“I will make no more suffering for myself or others”
The start of the end of suffering.
This applies equally well both individually and collectively.

Thank you for the kind words, and also for taking the time to release them out into the world for people to see. I hope you’re message is not only read, but more importantly lived by all those who read it (and all who don’t.) I cannot say that I personally am free of suffering, but seeing words like those you wrote are good reminders for all of us get out of our minds and into the precious present moment.
Thanks again.
